One day I'll spend my day reading the paper at the local café in my quaint, Italian village with my ruffled white hair and glass of wine at 10am. Until then, I'll be busy making things as a hands-on art and creative director. I make it a point to get involved in the making of things in all kinds of categories. That often means making advertisingy-type things but I've also enjoyed making a lot of other stuff like a best-selling backpack, a cycling brand/club, brand identities, a magazine, the first-ever HTML banner for Amazon.com, and pasta for Thanksgiving.
